He talked about his days in the Oilers farm system. How he was having a really good year in Oklahoma. The Oilers called him up. He flew to Colorado and before the game he got told that they rescinded the call up. Their logic was he was having too good of a year in OKC and they weren’t gonna keep him up all year (it was a temporary call up) and they were worried he was going to get claimed when they had to send him back down.
He also told a story and Margnus Paaravi (sp?). Towards the end of that year they call Magnus up but it was after the deadline. It wasn’t til he got to wherever it was they were playing that management realized they had already used up all of their post trade deadline call ups and had to send him back to the farm.
Can’t make this stuff up. Keller qualified his stories at the beginning with something to the effect of “probably why my hatred of the Oilers stills runs today”.

this is consistent with that prospect that got away last year too . appears they don't even understand the rules of the league they work at for a career and don't seem interested in learning . they just put on suits and fap to McDavid every day
it's unfortunate that the incompetence landed them a skating cheat code to cover up the fact that they would otherwise be buffalo/arizona
